I have to remember this because I can't ever remember to keep them watered. Tomato plants like deep watering. Why waste water when you can make a simple reservoir delivery system. Neat idea. The photo says it all. Actually gives a good use for plastic bottles

I miss having a vegetable garden. Tomato plants like deep watering. Why waste water when you can make a simple reservoir delivery system. Neat idea. The photo says it all.

I have a ton of old flower pots . . . could do this. (-: With little palm trees?? Must be something that doesn't need a lot of water, or close to a hose. Clay pot flower tower! :) (Feb. '12)

ooo! Pretty garden idea! Use a strong garden stake, or a piece of rebar from your home and garden store. Get several clay pots (with single drainage hole at bottom). Slide the biggest pot onto stake, tilt until the side touches the stake. Repeat tilting opposite way every other pot.

Neat herb garden idea - Potting Tree. Weave the pole through the watering hole in the bottom of each Terra Cotta pot. Fabulous.

Stack of Flower Pots Use a strong garden stake, or a piece of rebar from your home and garden store. Get several clay pots, the kind with the hole in the center of the bottom. Start at ground level with the biggest pot. Tilt it until the side touches the stake. Repeat tilting opposite way every other pot. Fill pots with soil and your favorite plants! *Update: Best to use rebar – (for strength) and hammer it into the ground- you don’t want your pots leaning or falling over.*

Old pallet into planting wall

Wood pallet: The thin vertical boards should be painted one color, the horizontal thick ones another, and the background covered with some sort of patterned vinyl or something weather proof, all in coordinating colors. Also maybe use some decorative trim to spiff it up even more.

(This will work for Front porch & Master Bedroom balcony! Nice) Morning glory porch screen -- You can't eat morning glories but you can use this idea to grow green bean plants that run, such as pole beans or half runners. It will make it easier to pick them plus provide some shade and privacy on your porch.good way to use these pesky plants

Love this idea for growing green beans! Morning Glory Screen by gardencams: A quiet green space created from a modest balcony! #Garden #Morning_Glory

Grow Moss on flower pots or concrete statuary. A project for I would like to try.

How to grow moss on terracotta pots - amazing!

How to antique and grow moss pots (Tutorial)
Adding Moss Works Best On
Terra Cotta
Stone or Concrete Containers
Stone or Concrete Sculptures
There are 2 ways to go about doing this. Both ways work really well, so choose one that best suits your tastes.
Moss requires an acidic environment to grow, which can be developed by painting a pot with buttermilk or yogurt, that's why both recipes below have one or the other.
Recipe 1:
Collect mosses either from around your yard or a friends or neighbors (you can also buy moss spores at a garden store)
Finely chop the moss up (or sprinkle in the moss spores into the mix below if you purchased them)
Allow the moss bits to dry up for a couple of days (if you collected them yourself)
Then mix together in a large bucket or bowl:
1 cup flour
2 cups buttermilk
2 packages active dry yeast
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1-1 1/2 cups dried, crumbled moss
Once the above is mixed together, put the bucket in full sun for three days.
When the mixture is good and smelly, brush it generously with a paintbrush on the outsides of your clay pots. Then wrap the pots in plastic wrap and put them in partial sun.
In two weeks the pots will start to grow mold, and by eight weeks the pots will be nice and furry with moss, and looking very antique and old.
Recipe 2:
Blend pieces of dried moss or purchased moss spores into
2 cups yogurt or buttermilk
Paint onto your pot with a paintbrush
Put your pot into a plastic bag to create a humid environment for the moss to develop
Set the pot and bag in a cool, shady spot until the moss begins to form, which will be about 10 days
Make sure to plant the container so you will be watering it regularly, which will keep the moss alive and growing

How to make a water pond garden in a pot. DIY

DIY Mini Pond in a Pot (not sure about the goldfish part): Add some goldfish and you wont have mosquito worries. Use gravel instead of the dirt and the water will be clearer #diy #pond

Container water garden. One comment suggested adding bladderwort to the plants for mosquito larvae. Another DIY source: http://deepgreenpermaculture.com/diy-instructions/building-a-small-water-garden/

Porch pond water gardening idea. Instead of soil/clay, use pea gravel, it will not muddy your water. Just rinse the gravel well before adding to your pot. Plants? I put lilies in my sunny pond every spring and they stay there all summer.

Grab a rustic hook and a vintage mason jar and put it beside the kitchen window for fresh flowers. A must for summer! I am totally doing this tonight. I have the mason jar and the curtain rod holder that are not being used!

For flowers, maybe hanging on the patio wall. Curtain rod hook + wire you use to hang pictures + plus mason jar. Wrap the wire around the lip of the jar several times, then wrap the ends tightly around the wall hook. Easy, cute!...going by the kitchen sink

Grab a rusty/rustic hook and a vintage mason jar and put it beside the kitchen window for fresh flowers (or in the laundry room for safety pins/junk found in pockets)
